Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in selecting the appropriate power sources for smart grids in near real time, particularly when dealing with multiple disparate power providers and varying energy demands, due to differences in power supply times and customer participation with renewable energy sources, leading to complexity in matching supply and demand.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of algorithms such as Complete Karmarkar Karp (CKK), pbrute, and Heuristic based pbrute to select effective power sources among a plurality of disparate power sources based on predefined requirements, ensuring efficient power distribution to the smart grid.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple disparate power sources are used to meet diverse power demands, then the versatility and adaptability of the smart grid is improved, but the complexity of selecting and matching appropriate power sources increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the power source selection problem into distinct categories (renewable, non-renewable, distributed, centralized) and applies different matching strategies to each segment. This allows the system to handle diverse power sources systematically while reducing overall selection complexity through structured classification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary matching system that acts as a mediator between disparate power sources and varying power demands. This intermediary layer applies predefined matching criteria and algorithms to automatically select appropriate power sources, reducing the complexity faced by grid operators while maintaining high adaptability.
2Reliability
If power sources from multiple providers are integrated, then the reliability and stability of power supply is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring appropriate power sources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor power source performance, availability, and compatibility with current demands. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adjust selections and maintain stability while simplifying the detection and measurement processes through real-time data collection and analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters used for detecting and measuring power sources by establishing standardized criteria (such as power output ranges, reliability metrics, and compatibility indices). This standardization transforms the complex task of evaluating multiple disparate power sources into a systematic process based on defined parameters.
3Productivity
If real-time selection of power sources is implemented, then the productivity and responsiveness of the smart grid is improved, but the loss of time for processing and selecting power sources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing matching criteria, power source categories, and selection algorithms before real-time selection is needed. This preparation allows the system to perform rapid real-time selections without extensive processing delays, as the decision framework is already in place.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by implementing a tiered selection process where not all power sources are evaluated in full detail for every demand. Instead, the system performs preliminary filtering based on key criteria and only conducts detailed evaluation for a subset of promising candidates, reducing processing time while maintaining selection quality.

AI summary
This technology relates to systems and methods for effective selection of disparate distributed power sources for smart grid in near real time manner to meet the specific power demand. Power from the plurality of disparate power sources is received and then one or more power sources among the plurality of disparate power sources are selected based on one or more predefined requirements. At least one effective power source is determined from the one or more power sources by applying one or more algorithm based on number and range of the one or more power sources. The one or more algorithm comprise Complete Karmarkar Karp (CKK), pbrute, Heuristic based pbrute. A signal for selection of the at least one effective power source is generated and the signal is sent to a circuit switcher to supply the power from the at least one effective power sources to the smart grid.
